[R] problem with makeSOCKcluster depending on R patch version

[Søren Højsgaard]

I just downloaded the patched version from the Danish mirror; http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/cran/

That gave me: R version 2.13.0 Patched (2011-05-10 r55826) - which is *not* the version you refer to. 

Where may one get the latest patch then?

Regards
Søren

Daily builds for WIndows of R-patched are available from CRAN.
